Tour Overview

Explore Ecuador's volcanic landscapes through five distinctive rock-climbing areas, each offering a different encounter with the Andes. Beginning in Quito, this 9-day journey takes you from the volcanic andesite walls of Santa Clara to the striking basalt columns of Puente de las Juntas and the steep climbing routes of San Martín. Between climbing days, discover Cotopaxi National Park and the waterfalls of Baños, where canyoning, ziplining, and a traditional Ecuadorian chocolate experience add another dimension to the adventure. Continue toward Riobamba to explore Guano's volcanic rock formations before finishing at San Juan, beneath Chimborazo, where technical sport routes and natural cracks bring together the diversity of Ecuadorian rock climbing.
